14 team. 1 keeper. Full PPR. RB, WR, WR, FLEX

I kept Jarvis Landry for a 5th round pick. 9 other teams also kept players that range from Allen Robinson to Gurley to Decker to David Johnson.

I drafted 10th out of 14, so my 1st pick was basically the 20th off the board when you consider keepers.

Leveon was still there! WTF. So obviously I roll my eyes and take him. Goes around the corner and now I'm at pick #29 overall. I stare at Eddie Lacy and Randall Cobb for a few minutes, and decide to pretend that it's still 2008, and I go RB-RB.

Now into the 3rd and there were some awful selections and huge reaches. Back to back picks in the middle of the round go Dion Lewis-Michael Crabtree. It gets to me at #48 overall and Demaryius is still there. Again, another dude I don't really want, but WTF is he still doing there? I really want to gamble on the upside of Moncrief or Mike Floyd at this point, but I roll my eyes and take DT.

Of course, Floyd and Moncrief go in the next 8 picks, and now I'm up again at # 57 overall. I decide this will be my first "reach" for an upside guy that I know won't make it back to me. Marvin Jones.

5th round: Keeper. Jarvis Landry

6th round. The one pick that I truly wish I could have back. I get flustered when Delanie Walker goes one pick before me, and I'm left with no plan. So I just grab the handcuff in DeAngelo Williams. So dumb. Wasted pick. Could have reached a bit and grabbed QB or Eifert here.

7th round and it's eye rolling time again. Pick #94 overall. Freaking DeVante Parker is still sitting there, and I already have Landry. I don't want Parker, but his upside is undeniable. I look at the long list of QBs. Stafford, Tyrod, Cousins, Jameis(who is the guy I really want), Rivers, Eli. I figure I can easy wait, so I decide to take Parker. The whole room groans, especially the 4 guys behind me.

8th round. Eli and Rivers both go before its back to me. I examine the board. Only 2 on the 9 teams behind me havent addressed QB. Still 4 QBs that I'll live with out there. I figure Jameis will get back to me, so I go upside again with Derrick Henry.

Then Stafford, Cousins, Jameis and Joe Flacco go in the next 18 picks.

9th round. Back to me and I snap pick Tyrod Taylor. No brainer.

10th round. Well, I've missed on TE time and time again. First Delanie goes one pick before me in the 6th, and Eifert went 2 picks before me in the 7th. I shrug my shoulders and take Ebron. So now I've got 2 shares of Detroits passing game.

11th round. Justin Forsett. Whatever. Don't even know what I'm doing at this point. Hoping he has a big start and I can ship him to a RB needy team before Dixon comes back and quietly pushes for that job.

12th round. Need another upside TE. ASJ. Actually has a fantastic PPG average last year.

so, just to be clear...
Qb: T.Taylor
Rb: L.Bell, E.Lacy, D.Williams, D.Henry, J.Forsette
Wr: D.Thomas, M.Jones, J.Landry, D.Parker
Te: E.Ebron, A. Seferian-Jenkins
K : Santos
D: Jax

Okay...
Well you are very solid at Rb - Bell/Williams and Lacy are solid 2 with Forsett and Henry for byes
Wr - I personally think you took Jones to early, but he looks to be solid. Thomas hopefully can return with Qb situation, Landry solid, Parker future bust(Stills still ahead of him)
Te - Yuck...just Yuck - even healthy Ebron doesn't contribute - and ASJ is fighting Brate for starting time.
Qb - Love Taylor, but not as my ONLY Qb.

I would start working some waiver wire or trades, give up a Rb and get one of your solid Te candidates or Qb.
 
Was it an oversight in your post or do you really only start 1 RB?

If you only start 1, I question the sanity of taking Lacy (or Bell) instead of a WR.

I see nothing wrong with taking Williams in the 6th (unless you only start 1 RB, then Lacy could have carried you 3 weeks)

Parker was a steal where you got him, but like you said, 2 Dolphin WRs isn't an ideal situation.

Marvin and DT would look much nicer with a Cobb type as your #1.

I think you'll be pleased with Henry latter in the season and very unhappy with your TE position.

I don't think I'd fly solo with Tyrod either. Waiver wire can fix that.

I'm telling you, I whiffed at TE. Twice my target was sniped within 2 picks of me. I could have passed on DeAngelo and taken Delanie or Ertz in the 6th.

Not much I can do at QB now. These guys go crazy when they draft. I think 26 QBs were selected. I simply don't have a roster spot to carry someone like Gabbert
 
Is Martellus Bennett still available? I think he is being overlooked and will be a beast when Brady comes back. They love the 2 TE sets in NE!
 
I fumbled the ball on TE in my league too.

Ended up with Vance McDonald. Like him better than Ebron and ASJ
 
What about Jesse James on the Steelers? Or Virgil Green of the Broncos? Think either might surprise.

Agree on Virgil Green, they will run alot of red zone in Denver through the Te. James in Pittsburgh am not sure on, haven't heard alot at all there.
